Meaning what? Why not him to have used the five years in the university for begging? SUMMARILY THE MONEY THAT WAS SPENT ON HIS EDUCATION IS A TOTAL WASTE. HIS CONDITION IS REALLY PATHETIC. I HOPE NIGERIAN GOVT WILL STAND TO HIS AID OR SOMEONE RELATED TO HIM CAN CHAT ME PRIVATELY.

Lazy boy!

He concocted all these lies of how he escaped death in Nigeria just to curry pity from Italian Immigration Officials to approve his asylum application, what a pity cry

Yes Nigeria is bad, Nigerian economy isn't cool, it is harsh but not as horrible as this lazy guy painted it.

If they aren't lying about escaping from Boko Haram that wiped off their whole family while they escaped, they are lying about their village uncle trying to kill them with charms to take their family lands angry

I don't blame them sha, I blame:

Gowon
Buhari
OBJ
IBB
Abacha for destroying Nigeria while ruling this nation as military heads of states which they are still doing today and the gullible youths keep cheering them, make una continue sad
With the bolded part, you're not sincere in your list of names.

This is a pure lies. First is that the name they gave as the man's name is a feminine name in Igbo land and no man answers such name; then the second concoction they also gave as his second name does not have any meaning what so ever in Igbo land. Shame on those trying so hard to paint the good and great people of Igbo Biafrans with black. Igbos have never been known with begging, that's very common among those who have been grabbing power with their two hands and legs since independence of the zoo, yet you go all over the zoo you see them everywhere like mtn crawling on the ground and begging from those they have been ruling and killing. Shame on them.
Somebody halla my Monika joor.
lol ogochukwu is a unisex name in some part of igboland

But I don't understand the meaning of efeizomor

Gossipninja:
The pathetic story of a Nigerian Engineer who went to Italy for greener pastures has now turned a beggar. Here is the pathetic story of a Nigerian engineer Ogochukwu Efeizomor, in search of asylum in Italy, but who at the moment survives by begging on the streets of an Italian town.


Three or four days a week, Ogochukwu Efeizomor takes a train from Lecco, a lakeside town where he stays in a centre for migrants, to Italy’s financial capital, Milan.
He has long settled on a specific corner, near a coffee bar and a garage, about a 20-minute walk from the station. He stands with a yellow wool cap to ask passers-by for change – always with a smile, always a “buon giorno,”
never insisting too much.


The change, food and sometimes clothes that people bring him to supplement the meals and the 2.50 euros a day he receives from the center. Sometimes he even gets a 10- or 20-euro bill.
Efeizomor is Nigerian, 30 years old and a trained civil engineer. But he claimed he lost his job with an oil company in Abuja, after a series of health problems.


Efeizomor said his health problems started after a neighbour in his village in southern Nigeria poisoned him. In short order, he suffered acute appendicitis, problems with the mammary glands, kidney issues and dental problems.
He still has two wounds on his hands from where he says a cultist who wanted to induct him into a secret society burned his hands, “ which left me an everlasting mark.” He decided to leave Nigeria in 2016, reaching Libya and then boarding a smugglers’ boat toward Italy.

In Italy, he has had three surgeries, two on the stomach and one on the mammary glands.
Now, he is waiting for his asylum application to be processed, seeking international protection based on human rights violations suffered in his native country. He studies Italian some days, and others he panhandles, standing on his chosen corner from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., before returning to Lecco on the train.



“Here I meet a lot of different types of people, staying on the street. There are many so good, nice and friendly, so accommodating. There are people that hate you, they don’t like you, they are not a friend. So when you come in contact with those people, they can make you feel bad. But the majority of the people are nice,”


He said;


Since Italy’s new populist government took office this spring, racist incidents against migrants and other outsiders appear to be on the rise.
One day recently, a cyclist veered toward Efeizomor, spraying him with mucus from his nose as he passed. Sometimes passers-by call him “Marrocchino,” a vaguely insulting moniker used generally for North Africans. Efeizomor prefers to focus on the kind people.

“Italy has always been my dream,” he says. “To live with other nationalities.”

Please what is the meaning of IGBO AMAKAhuh

NO INSULT PLEASE
His is not Igbo. He is either from Agbor or Ika land. We don't answer Efemozor or whatever

Throwback:
I just don't know why the African race has decided it will perpetually suffer inferiority complex?

So he prefers to be sprayed with foreign mucus because he lost his job in Nigeria?

The education that Africans never received is the one that teaches that the solution to ones problem does not lie abroad.
They are many White beggars also. The Indians and Arabs have more beggars please.

Some of those beggars have mansions in Nigeria. Don't mention me if you don't know.
No beggar owns a mansion in Nigeria, not especially begging in a country like Italy. Go abroad to beg to now so you can build a mansion in Nigeria.

What do you know about Nigerians outside Nigeria? Begging is common among Nigerians in Italy.

Just ignore these uninformed people. How generous is a European? Most you see can't spare you a dime. People are more generous to street beggar's here. Their own giving in Europe is more structured, mostly through foundations. No beggar can afford a mansion. In fact you can't live a decent life in Europe by begging, let alone embark on a capital project.
